This Donaldson guy....

[Ricky]

Brilliant. Perfect fit for us, exactly what we needed and has more pace left than I thought he would. Two great finishes with his weaker foot.

But if he's out for a few weeks that's knocked the shine right off today for me. I do not want him missing the Wednesday game. We can't afford any more strikers injured.

Christ I hate it when pointless apostrophes appear via my mobile. Edward's FFS.
No apostrophe.

I prefer Kevin Gage as co-commentator

 

[snootyfenooty]

Looked to me like he pulled his hamstring rather than cramp, not good news.

He wont be back for the derby if thats the case.

Great throughball from Brooks for his second.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Torn hamstring = months, pulled hamstring = weeks.

 

[Wards]

Went down with cramp and some twat threw a bottle at his head

 

[shrubbery]

I'm hoping cramp after seeing it on iFollow - one of the other players tried to stretch it for him straight afterwards and he didn't seem to limp when walking off. Just being hopeful really...

 

[Pinchy]

We really need to stop shopping in the bargain basement or we'll never be able to go to the big boys in this league and get anything.

Big boys? Nothing less than titans with whom we could not hope to compete!

So I heard on here, anyway...

 

[Jehovah]

Really pleased. I have always rated him and was surprised by the negativity of some fans when we signed him. Can anyone comment on how pacey he looked today?

 

[Blade56]

Well I wasn't convinced about CD but that's why I'm not a manager and Tuffty is!

Just hope he's not crocked

4th in league, get yer cheque books out your Royal Highnesses

Yes. He's much better and no apostrophe...

Just on my way to Newcastle from the game!!. What a signing Donaldson is!!. He was immense today!!. Lord wilder is a genius!!. My niece who is a Sunderland fan has said that we look a really good side and we're hard to beat because of the obvious team spirit!!. I'm going to enjoy my night!!. Utb. In wilder we trust.

luckily Donaldson didnt miss 2 opportunities

Clayton Donaldson tells me he 'couldn't have asked for a better start' in an #SUFC shirt #twitterblades

Just checked.. he has French ancestors



In wilder we trust!!! ️

 

[DronnieBlade]

What a refreshing change.

A tall rangy striker that can actually control a football !

Well done CD.

UTB

 

[Hull Blade]

The boy done well...A grafter from the old school. Well done fine Sir..

 

[metalblade]

I wish he was a few years younger, still got pace though, great debut.

 

[Wandsworth Blade]

Football as we know is a stats game. So after going through all the information available and sweating over a calculator for hours here is a key stat:

Jordan Rhodes cost per goal this season £5m
Clayton Donaldson cost per goal this season £0

I wonder if he takes pens as well?

Surely your expectations are just a little too high mate. I mean, isn't it only a class acquisition like Rhodes that can respond to pressure?

I'm not one to say I told you so.....hence I'll just leave it there.

He'll hopefully be back for Saturday, if not before. Doesn't seem bad.

 

[Barney]

No we weren't! A few idiots were. They've been proved wrong, nobody else. Don't include the sensible people in the 'us'.

You'd be going mental if people were slating him after one game and one poor performance so it's a bit hypocritical to suggest that the doubters have been proven wrong after the same time period. Long may his excellent form continue.

 

[Pinchy]

Well said, big fella. Heard his interview the other day. He seems a really sensible positive guy and his record suggests an excellent pro,

Glad to have him. Like most Blades, especially those not permanently connected to a computer, I was from day one...

 

[shrubbery]

I never made a comment at the time but I want it to be known that I thought he was an excellent signing and a fantastic player.

 

[PeteBlade]

Edwards is a bitter old pro that pisses & whines about how there wasn't big money when he was around.

Spent the entire game saying how good we are, how hard working we are, how comfortable we were and how well Wilder has done...
